Project Abstract

Abstract
This research study aims to investigate the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on the financial performance of selected deposit money banks in Nigeria. The Nigerian banking sector has witnessed significant advancements in ICT over the past few decades, leading to changes in the way banks operate and deliver financial services. This study focuses on understanding how the adoption and utilization of ICT tools and systems have influenced the financial performance indicators of selected deposit money banks. A mixed-methods approach will be employed to collect and analyze data for this study. The research will involve both quantitative analysis of financial data from the selected banks and qualitative assessment through interviews with key stakeholders in the banking sector. The quantitative analysis will focus on financial performance metrics such as return on assets, return on equity, and cost-to-income ratio to evaluate the impact of ICT on the profitability and efficiency of the banks. The qualitative aspect of the study will involve interviews with bank managers, IT professionals, and regulators to gain insights into the strategies, challenges, and benefits associated with ICT adoption in the banking sector. By combining quantitative financial analysis with qualitative perspectives from industry experts, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between ICT and financial performance in Nigerian deposit money banks. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to the existing literature on ICT adoption in the banking sector and offer practical insights for banks, policymakers, and regulators in Nigeria. Understanding the impact of ICT on financial performance can help banks make informed decisions regarding technology investments, operational efficiency, and overall competitiveness in the market. Overall, this study seeks to bridge the gap in research regarding the specific impact of ICT on the financial performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. By exploring the relationship between technology adoption and financial outcomes, this research aims to provide valuable knowledge that can support the growth and development of the banking sector in Nigeria amidst the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
